<font size="2"><br>



The number of files,
which can be added to an archive, depends upon the amount of
available memory and the length of file names.</font>



<font size="2">The size of a bee
archive is limited to 2 GB.</font>

Console
Bee version</b></font><br>



<font size="2"><br>



Additionally to BeeGui you will find, in the distributive, the file Bee.exe. It is
also a 32-bit Bee version for Windows.</font>



<font size="2">It is useful to call
console Bee from BAT and CMD files, to use it at the DOS prompt and
so on.</font>



<font size="2">It supports a larger
number of command line switches and commands when compared with&nbsp;</font><font size="2">BeeGui</font><font size="2">.</font>



<font size="2">You should read
Usage.txt file for a detailed description of all console Bee
features.</font>
